RFID SG Overview
The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) has chartered the IEEE RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Study Group to investigate and develop IEEE 802 'Project Authorization Request' (PAR) and '5 Criteria' documents which define the direction of an IEEE 802 Task Group as it develops a new IEEE 802 wireless standard.
Formation of a new IEEE 802 Task Group is dependent on the completion of PAR and 5 Criteria documents as well as IEEE Working Group and IEEE 802 Executive Committee member approvals.
There is a potential in this IEEE RFID SG to define the direction of the development of new draft physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer protocols for wireless applications that require ultra-low energy consumption, perhaps passive/semi-active/active RFID, sensor, and other applications that existing RFID and sensor wireless PHYs and MACs may not satisfy.
